WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Snap logan
Picked up a couple of lavendars to plant in my niece's garden.....we are clearly skipping winter and looking forward to next summer

11 dolphins were stranded on my local beach today......some were "refloated" but many died. So sad. Reasons unclear as yet

 

How awful @Verdun , very sad news.

 

Where's Gail?

 

So sad...

Well, today I got the lawnmower out for the first time since mid-June. I probably would have cut it last week, had we been here.... but on half of the garden, the grass still hasn't grown!

 

So sad.

 

Yes roll on next summer.
Already decided to do orange wallflower seeds for next year. Instead of the yellow.

 

I have rows of orange, primrose, yellow, red and some whites Logan.....prob around 100..
growing now in the veg patch and they make bushy sizeable plants by the time they are moved to their final positions in October/November in groups of 3 usually. In spring they will be 60 to 90 cm tall.

 

That's very tall for wallflowers. But sounds good with the colours.
I thought about different colours, but i'm not very good at keeping them separate before i plant them.

 

Yes, the rich veg soil helps make specimen wallflowers logan ...prob nearer 60 cm I guess . A trio of them makes quite an impact in the early spring. Also have a few white stocks, even bigger right now, that add scent in late winter

Walked around the garden to see if everything is still standing.....no damage by Helene apart from the odd broken dahlia stem

 

Interesting day yesterday, had a look at a job where the customer asked to have the grass cut.
Guess what I said!



I’m guessing they thought I might clean it up before the cut.

 

That's better, 24 inches.
Yes i imagine they look amazing.
Last year i think mine was about that height.

 

Hmmm! Maybe 24.5" logan .
Big bushes though....maybe I will take a measure to them
